Why are you afraid? Why do you stay so far away? Why do you read Rejection in silence And betrayal in breath? Ask yourself… Why are you afraid? You fear to speak To move left, or to move right. For like nervous birds They have quickfasthearts And they jump and flit And fight at every […]

Before I continue on with my regular blogging topics, for posterities sake I wanted to post something about the flood we just had. Flooding started in the early morning hours of the 12th, our neighborhood was evacuated around noon of that same day. I stayed with family a few towns away. Evacuation orders were lifted […]
Blog Update…
I wanted to take this moment of quiet, and connection with my blog to update you on my status. If you have been checking my blog and found it to be unresponsive it is because my state is currently experiencing a massive flooding event. My home, and the location of my blog’s server is currently […]

Life and Training in Fifteen…

But it was becoming so long that I broke it up and introduced you to my good friend MG first, who has helped me tremendously during my journey. During the CrossFit Open this year […]
CrossFit Friendships…
The woman in the background, that’s my friend –MG. She is the first person I ever uttered the word CrossFit with. It took a couple years after I had become aware of CrossFit before I decided to do something about it. It was the gym that she co-owned and was head coach of that I […]
On the Matter of Anniversaries…
Today is the third anniversary of my first blog post, and this is blog post 498 –so very close to number 500! Honestly, I had hoped to have post number 500 today, but it just wasn’t happening. The words and pictures and ideas were not coming together. I never expected that I would have continued […]
The Cat…
“You might as well give in.” “I don’t know what you’re taking about.” “Yes you do. They’re on to you anyway.” “Hmmm? Come again.” “Oh, you let them think you’re so tame, but really, you’re a wild little thing.” “So, you’re trying to blow my cover then?” “No…No, it’s just that wild things should stalk […]
